Next-to-last thoughts from your CoolScientist

Recently, I spent the afternoon in the emergency ward watching my heart blink on and off on the cardiac monitor. At such times, we tend to re-evaluate many things in our lives, as we suddenly discover that our “golden years” may actually turn out to be our “golden moments.”

So, if that’s the case, I certainly want to take this (possibly last) opportunity to thank those who deserve commendation for their kind efforts, not just in my behalf, but in behalf of so many others in similar situations.

There are many in a variety of agencies who tirelessly assist us, and put up with grumpy old folks, wading through one bureaucracy after another… as we attempt to realign what’s left of our lives to fit the difficulties forced upon us by advancing age, a wrenching economy, and a world gone mad. Some of these caring ones are of particular note for having rendered loving assistance, including the medical staffs of CHC and FHP… (initials are very popular here in the islands,) but especially the Office on Aging, and even my landlady.

These ones, along with my closest loved ones, my very own brothers and sisters, are especially appreciated… yet, not only for the past, (but believe-it-or-not,) for all of your futures too.

The problem is, from the ordinary perspective, the future doesn’t appear to be very bright for any of us. Why? Well, did you ever notice something about dead people? They never drink beer! They never eat pizza. They don’t sing. They don’t dance. They just lay around while everyone else has all the fun. Being dead is a real drag! And getting there isn’t any fun either.

But as the old song goes, “Is that all there is?”

Well, as a scientist, I don’t believe anything unless I can prove it! So you will be happy to know that a real future actually does exist! And I am delighted to say that I have found out how to prove it!

However, it’s amazing how so many people turn up their noses at the one reliable source of information on the subject. Or worse yet, they favor made-up stories that have us either flying or frying. Well, folks, that’s not what the Bible really teaches in black and white. The true God is a good guy. He doesn’t fry people. Rather he promises at Acts 24:15, that in the future, “there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.”

You know, it’s really hard for anyone who dies during this time period to not be in one of those categories. But what kind of world will they come to life into?

Jesus gave us a sample of what he will do as mankind’s leader. He cured the sick, fed the hungry, controlled the weather, and even raised the dead… just like he will do in the very near future, after he gets rid of those who don’t want to pay attention (Matt. 24:37-39.) and makes the whole Earth into a garden-like paradise. (Psalms 37, Rev. 21: 3, 4.)

So, to both my friends and adversaries, I say, “I’ll be back!” Then we’ll have a real party together with lots of real pizza and beer. Will you be there? Do you want to be there? Do you really know how to be there? Please email me while I still have some golden moments to share with you. john@hait.org. But if I should run out, for the time being, maybe one of my brothers or sisters can show you what’s really going to happen… and prove it! It’s free to check it out. Thanks for reading.
